This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following.

He saw the townlands / and learned the minds of many distant men, / and weathered many bitter nights and days / in his deep heart at sea, while he fought only / to save his life, to bring his shipmates home.

Which is the most effective paraphrase of this excerpt?

A. Odysseus traveled simply so that he could find his shipmates and bring them home safely.

B. Odysseus learned much and encountered many obstacles on his long journey to bring himself and his men home safely.

C. Odysseus was away from home for a long time and overcame many obstacles during his time at sea.

D. Odysseus and his shipmates spent many long and difficult days at sea during their travels home.

The most effective paraphrase of this excerpt is:

B. Odysseus learned much and encountered many obstacles on his long journey to bring himself and his men home safely.

Explanation:

When we paraphrase a passage, we express the same ideas as it does, but with different words. That means we should not change the content of the passage. In this case, the passage we are supposed to paraphrase mentions how Odysseus learned new things on his journey - "the minds of many distant men." He also endured a lot of hardship, several obstacles - "and weathered many bitter nights and days in his deep heart at sea." Odysseus wasn't only working hard for himself, but also for his shipmates, since they were all eager to return home - "while he fought only to save his life, to bring his shipmates home." The paraphrase that keeps all this information is letter B. Odysseus learned much and encountered many obstacles on his long journey to bring himself and his men home safely.

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "the fall of the house of usher" by edgar allan poe? i looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which i can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. there was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. what was it—i paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the house of usher? it was a mystery all insoluble; nor could i grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as i pondered. i was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. it was possible, i reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, i reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows. admiration terror hope discovery loss
